The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Lawrence Memorial. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Lawrence Memorial.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Federal data does not indicate that Lawrence Memorial currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Lawrence Memorial is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$2,042
Out-of-state	$2,042

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Lawrence Memorial.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$16,000
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$4,755/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$38,040
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$22,040

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Books & Supplies Coverage

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Lawrence Memorial estimates these costs at about $1,150, leaving about $150 out of pocket.
